NAME

       suricata-oinkmaster-updater - Run oinkmaster to update suricata ruleset

SYNOPSIS

       suricatas-oinkmaster-updater

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the suricatas-oinkmaster-updater command.

       suricata-oinkmaster-updater is a shell script that run oinkmaster(1) to update suricata(8)
       ruleset.  The intention is to hook the call to this script  from  a  daily  cron  job,  so
       suricata(8) rulesets are automagically updated every day.

HOW IT WORKS

       The   default   Debian   configuration   will  run  oinkmaster(1)  with  the  config  file
       /etc/suricata/suricata-oinkmaster.conf   which   is   pre-configured   to   download   the
       EmergingThreats open ruleset for suricata(8).

       When  the  download  is completed, suricatasc(1) will be called to instruct suricata(8) to
       reload the ruleset.

CONFIGURATION

       By now, the only way to modify the behaviour of suricata-oinkmaster-updater is  to  modify
       the /etc/suricata/suricata-oinkmaster.conf file. Or modify the shell script itself.

       More options may be added in the future.
